Our bodies accumulate toxins from a variety of places: the air we breathe, food, household chemicals and even environmental factors. It is important to help the body efficiently remove these toxins by improving how the organs of detoxification and elimination — liver, kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract — function. Our Spark Health Detox Programs are designed to safely and effectively guide you through this process with an easy plan that balances your body and improves health from the inside out. If toxins are too rapidly released without being eliminated safely first, they can do more damage than good to your body. Our detox programs focus on improving and optimizing how your body’s own detoxification systems function. Spark Health Detox Programs patients experience increased energy, enhanced immune function, improved digestion, clearer skin, weight loss, pain relief and mental clarity, as well as reduced stress and tension.

Digestive health can be the key to long term health for many people, and many of the testing methods available only look for infectious or disease causing bacteria. At Spark Health, we look at all the aspects of the digestive system that impact our health: inflammation, immune system regulation and response, digestion and absorption of protein, fat, and other nutrients, yeast, parasites, and levels of both beneficial and harmful bacteria. This shows us the full picture of digestive system health and function, and allows us to use botanicals, prescription medications, and probiotics to balance and restore each patient’s unique gastrointestinal environment, or microbiome.

Prolotherapy is a cutting edge regenerative injection treatment used to repair injured ligaments, tendons and joints for people suffering from pain, joint instability and osteoarthritis. Ligaments and tendons generally have a poor blood supply and consequently, incomplete healing is common after an injury. Coupled with frequent use of NSAIDs, ice and cortisone, it is easy to see why chronic pain is so common. Prolotherapy is considered a powerful alternative to surgery and a healthier option to pain medications and anti-inflammatory injections such as cortisone or other steroidal injections. The revolutionary treatment is minimally invasive and is affordable to boot, allowing you to return to your active lifestyle quickly and safely. Dextrose Prolotherapy involves injecting dextrose with an anesthetic into a damaged area, usually a ligament, tendon or joint. This solution causes a local, mild irritation initiating an inflammatory response that “turns on” the body’s powerful healing process. This procedure stimulates the growth of new ligament, tendon and cartilage in the damaged area. The ligaments and tendons produced after prolotherapy appear much the same as normal tissues, except they are thicker and stronger due to the new
